Received an email from Amazon that my PO of Goku Black will be shipping out sooner than estimated. Gonna get one after all. Frieza price also dropped to $37!

...That is a 9/10 for me! :gah:

I may be nitpicky as **** but I honestly don't understand why they can't get facial sculpts right.

Edited: I bought Goku Black at ACEN last weekend. I could see why he is considered to be one of the best in the line. The sculpt work is really nicely done. It does have more of a Xenoverse 2/FighterZ feel to it for me though. It makes me think that Tamashii released it without really knowing the content/material and popularity of the character but, despite all that, I'm extremely pleased with this release. I'm looking forward to many more Future Trunks Arc releases!
 
Is there any incentive on buying the new Freezer if one already owns the original?

Only for the halo to have as a Tournament of Power Frieza but even that is only for his smirking head. The whiter shade also is more accurate with his fight against Goku in Resurrection F before he goes Golden.

Those are about the only reasons I can come up with at the moment. I'll post more if I think of any.

Not lose articulations
 
I recently got him, even though I was adamant I didnt want/need him, but boy I was wrong. He may not be a "new" figure, but the smirk face is far better than the original, and as Tonito states, his joints are much tighter and the hip issue is fixed (not sticking out). I also much prefer the blue shading to the grey, looks alot cleaner as a result. Review will be up shortly.
 
Not lose articulations

That's true. The articulation and tightness of the joints allows for better posing and displaying options.

Personally, I prefer this release over the original. The only problems I have with it are the shape of the heads and the other head molds not being able to hold the halo accessory.

The lips on the smirking face are also painted right on thinner on the new one, the old one looked like a big mess of purple lipstick

I agree with you all that new Freezer looks better than the original... but if I buy it then ima have 2 nearly identical Freezers.. just like if I bought the pink-bellied PCE Cell, and now the new exclusive manga colored blue-bellied Cell.. I would have 3 identical Cells. And for what? Cell has 3 transformations, so why do we have 3 figures of only 1 transformation? That boggles my mind

In the beginning of the line I was all for the alternative color exclusives, cuz it was still new & fresh. These days, I’m having second thoughts, cuz they’re just going to keep doing more recolors & taking advantage, when I would rather put my money towards new sculpts & characters instead of re-releases & reissues branded as “new” releases
 
Sell the OG. That’s what I’ve been doing. If a 2.0 or repaint comes out and it’s better than the current OG that I own, I simply replace it. Good thing is the OGs still command a good price in the aftermarket so you make some money off of it too especially if you originally bought it at retail.

Frieza was my first Figuarts I ever bought and he was retail but now I’m replacing him with the current one. The OG wasn’t terrible by any means but the 2.0 is just better so why keep the OG anymore
